Director of the Bureau Canon Joseph Cooney says the organization has enjoyed consistent levels of interest since it was founded over forty years ago.

“I believe that a significant part of our success is that our clients feel secure throughout the introduction procedure. After we process the questionnaires we try to match them based on age, location and educational level.

“We also look at height too. Certainly women don’t want to be with smaller men but we have to take into account the height of their heels!” Canon Cooney added.

The fee for the service costs €150 which entitles an applicant to one year’s membership which allows them to receive a number of introductions if necessary.
